The rear main seal is a rope-type. There may be an old mechanic trick to chasing out the old seal and getting a new one in, but I wouldn't want to try it. Fix may be worse than the problem.
For now, I'd get a cookie pan with some Oil Dri to catch the drip(s) Drive it as much as possible, too.
If you ever haul the engine out, you could reload with the graphite rope seal, or, convert to rear 1-pc. -- I think BOP Engineering sells the kit. Also be sure to get the good pan gasket, too.
